A colorful tool set, complete with buzzing drill and full-size hammer, has been his fave. He has a thing for hardware, and the more accurately represented they are, the happier he is. (His dad owns nearly every tool carried by Home Depot, so there is a definite father-to-son hardware synergy thing working.)

Donna dropped off a few things last week. Zach was particularly captivated by this music machine:

If you aspire to be a one-boy band, this is the toy for you.

The best part was the card that came with it:

Followed by this exhortation:

After an inaugural concert, it was reverently hidden tucked into Zach's diaper bag and driven to his house. For future concerts. That may require early departures.

So whatever happened to the fireman hat (complete with siren and flashing lights) that I sent to Zach? That was an intentional payback for the same toy Charlie sent to my older son when Will was 2. I intended it to be kept at your house!! It was Will's favorite toy, I think, until he turned 14.

Megan had a similar toy as a child. She took it with us on a trip to Fla with my sister - who was nearly driven insane by the end of the trip. My sister can still hum the melody all these years later!DJC

About Moi

In 1987, we left Atlanta (by way of Kansas City and St. Louis) on a corporate move to Naperville, IL. Next thing I knew, carpool was over and the kids were gone. While I try to figure out how that happened, I've taken up writing again. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for reading.
